Washington Redskins DL Barry Cofield, formerly of the New York Giants, questioned the way the Giants handled some veteran players, opting to part ways rather than re-sign them. The Giants released C Shaun O'Hara and OG Rich Seubert, declined to re-sign LB Chase Blackburn and let TE Kevin Boss and WR Steve E. Smith leave via free agency. "Some other guys I played with, sweat with and bled with, I don't think it was right, the way things went down with them," Cofield said. "A guy that's been there for 10 years like Rich gets hurt and you fire him? That's the best way to put it. And don't forget about Osi (Umenyiora). I don't think that's right either."

The New York Giants plan to release G Rich Seubert Thursday, July 28. By cutting Seubert and OL Shaun O'Hara, the Giants will open up almost $6 million and get under the salary cap. The Giants may be willing to bring back one, or both, of them at a lesser cost.

New York Giants OG Rich Seubert (knee) underwent a procedure similar to microfracture surgery in January, and he is confident he can return for an 11th season, reports Paul Schwartz, of the New York Post.

New York Giants C Shaun O'Hara (foot) is hoping to return to action in Week 10 against the Dallas Cowboys, according to ESPNNewYork.com's Ohm Youngmisuk. "Yesterday (I) just got some treatment and tomorrow I am going to see how it feels and what we can do," O'Hara told Sirius NFL radio on Tuesday. "Foot sprains, as I am learning, as much as they are painful they are also very slow to heal. I am optimistic, and I am frustrated, that's for sure. I don't know what the prognosis is for this week. Obviously with other guys getting dinged, I am pushing even more to get out there." OG Rich Seubert could make his second straight start at center this week.

New York Giants OG Rich Seubert (hand) will practice without any limitations padding on his injured hand and is expected to play in the team's third preseason game, according to Mike Garafolo, of The Star-Ledger.

New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin said OG Rich Seubert (hand) does not need surgery at this point on his broken hand, but if the broken bone moves, he will need to have surgery on the hand, reports Ohm Youngmisuk, of ESPNNewYork.com.
